AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Toilet Art?


Not often do you see any form of art - other than graffiti - gracing exterior toilet walls.
But this one is in a park at Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne.

It features images of Australian plants with glass protection.

Self - Portrait


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The best way to create a self-portrait of me is to gather together those things I love in the world around me:

Shadows After Rain


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A flower in my garden in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
The leaves are being ravaged by insects with all the rain, but the flowers are still lovely.
And the sunlight lets them cast some interesting shadows.
